displaying and selling a plan, which requires a keyword upon purchase

Hello,

I have purchased latest HikaShop Business and HikaSerial.

Right know I have 3 single products in 3 categories. The reason why, is so I can place 1 single product with my start page, using the module. The module only allows a filter for category, but I would like to show a single product with module.

1. Is there a better way?

I would like to sell a Plan with 3 different variants.

Plan A
Plan B
Plan C

2. Should I create only 1 product with 3 variants?

I will need a keyword entered by customer for this plan, so the plan knows what keyword should be used during process of some data.

2. How can I accomplish this kind of task for just one Plan, but not for other plans, which are for different tasks.

Any help appreciated, so I don't work in the wrong direction.

Hello,

thank you. I already had a look at the tag system as well.

My initial question:

If a user adds a plan to the card, I need the user to enter a keyword to be attached to the plan. The plan will peform some php calculation based on that very keyword and before adding plan to cart, I will have to to check if the keyword has already been taken by another user with a plan. If the keyword is already attached to the another user (another plan), the plan can't be added with cart.

Any ideas about this.

Thank you very much. I will try to build this. Good to know, we can do this.

Hello,

it has been some time, but now I can finally try to implement this solution.

I have created a custom field "product_customer_keyword".
The custom field will show in backend with product and is required.

Right now I am trying the next step and show the field with my custom product module.

I have created 4 hikashop product modules, each linked to a different plan.
The custom field does not show.

Do I have to set some option here?

Then I need to create a plugin.
I see 17 different plugins such as "Random - HikaSerial Generator plugin".

Which plugin should I use?

Another question that just came up.

When I want to edit my product in the backend, I need to fill the custom field I have created in order to save the product. Yes, it is a required field. But a required field for users who would like to book this product/plan. They need to enter a keyword in order to add the product to the cart. Right now my hikashop product module does not show the field, as mentioned above.

And the custom field now shows my custom field with product page "Specifications" tab. It actually shows the value I had to enter in backend, in order to save the product.
